The One Night Stand

Chapter 2

Alyssa's P.O.V

I woke up in an amazing manner and checking the time, it showed 7:53am... hmm.. it feels so good not to have a job- but a job interview.  Christ!!!! My  interview was in 30 minutes!!!

I rushed to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and showered. I came out and dressed up in a span of 15 minutes.. I should really be in the Guinness World book of record. I put on the outfit I chose from yesterday and did my hair.. I needed to look presentable and so I straightened my black hair and paired my dress with nude pumps. I ordered a Lyft and carried my handbag,  immediately rushing downstairs to get into the car and before I knew it, I was going to Ross Enterprises.

I looked at the time as I entered into the reception... there was a guy behind the counter.  I walked up to him, a smile on my face.

"Good morning.. my name is Alyssa Brown... I'm here for the job interview." I told him.. he looked at me and smiled.

"Hello.... could you please give me a minute to see if you registered for today?"

"Sure! Go ahead.." he sounded so nice.

"Ooof.. it seems you didn't register." I immediately looked at him.

"What! I registered yesterday and it showed me it was successful. I can show you a proof."

"Well what I have here is an Alyssa Grown not Alyssa Brown." He pointed out and I just blinked at him. I looked on my phone and it seemed I had actually made a mistake. What was wrong with me?!! I facepalmed myself internally,  sighing out and smiling once more at him.

"This is an honest mistake. I must have made a typo while trying to register. Forgive me."

"It isn't me you should try to clarify with. I know it was a mistake just pray the manager thinks so too." Wait what?

"You can go up that elevator. Floor 9" He pointed at it.

"Thank you... " I looked at his name tag and it read

"Mike. Thank you Mike. " he nods his head and I start walking to the elevator as nerves start kicking in. How could you make that mistake Alyssa?!

"Good luck!" Mike calls out and I wave at him as I enter the elevator. I tap on 'floor 9' and so I'm all alone and try practicing few general questions from my last job. The 'ding' brings me out of my question reverie and I come out of the elevator taking in the floor. It was magnificent. Offices at different places. Men and women in different suits walking in different directions... I would love to work here! My eyes landed on few  different women in seats, trying to arrange their hair or makeup.  That's where I should probably be. I rushed over there and took a seat. The person in front of me looked at me from head to toe, then rolled her eyes. I am so confused as to why I got that reaction. The door of the office opened and a woman came out, looking all flustered and smug. Could she have already gotten the job? And so my confusion and depression shot up as the remaining women all had the same expressions on their faces. What was going on?

"Miss Grown?" Someone called out from the office. Next time, don't be half asleep while filling out a job application Grown.

"Yes! Coming in.." I went in, closing the door and turned  around meeting a very very Very handsome man. He had chestnut brown hair with beautiful electrifying blue eyes. Why so handsome?

"Miss? Did you hear me?" Huh?

"Huh? What?" I said out loud earning a chuckle from the beautiful man.

"I said you could have a seat Miss" he gestured to the seat and I formed an 'oh' with my mouth. I tried not to look embarrassed after what I had just done. Really??? Staring at your maybe future boss?!! Bad Lyss Bad!!

"Thank you." I gave him a short smile and sat down and he also went back to his seat behind the desk.

"So... you're here for the secretary job am I right?" He asked as he looked through my files.. I guess.

"Yes sir." I answered him. He rose his brow and looked at me.

"What's your name?" Well here goes..

"My name is Alyssa Brown." I told him,  making him fold his arms. I fought all the urge not to stare at those big guns. Damn!!

"But right here, it says Alyssa Grown." He pointed out and I nodded my head.

"Yes sir.... but I promise you, it was an honest mistake. It was a typo which I am so very sorry for."

"You shouldn't have been allowed to pass the reception with this because it could be risking our security because how sure am I that this was a mistake and not just a way to infiltrate our company and carry out maybe a revenge of some sort or something you have against this company?" Really? Was it this deep?

"Sir! I assure you that none of that is on my mi-"

"I should fire the receptionist for allowing you to pass without proper checking of ID."

"It was a mistake!! My name is Alyssa Brown not Grown. It was just a change of the the first alphabet of my surname... why do you have to be so dramatic about this! Any one could know that this was a mistake!" I said before I could stop myself earning a straight face from the beautiful man.

"You're right.. it was a mistake. " I sighed in relief. He finally gets it.

"It was a mistake even letting you into this building since you have no ounce of respect for your interviewer. " wait what?

"No it doesn't have to come to this sir.. I tell you it was really an honest mistake.  I'm sorry for speaking to you in a disrespectful manner just give me one more chance sir. Please.." he looked at me, a smirk on his face as he eyed me up and down and then licked his lips. Okay, ew.

"Well I could make an exception and still hear what you have to say but I do want something in return." He said as be eyed me up and down again. I rolled my eyes at this and sighed out.

"And what would that be?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"Well my office has blinds an-"

"So that's why all the women came out looking flustered. You use the job vacancy to entice them into some satisfying your s****l needs and ensure them they would get it whereby none of them will. Wow. Awesome. Fantastic." I scoffed. This man was an asshole.

"Excuse me?" I glared at him which startled him and I was very happy about.

"You're a disgusting man. In fact, you shouldn't be worthy of being called a man. So you think I would do the same with them? You don't even know half of what I can do 'sir'! You're a disgusting s**t. Take your shitty job vacancy and keep it up your ass." I shook my head in disappointment and started leaving the office when I heard him clap from behind me. I turned and looked at him. He kept on clapping, a wide smile on his face.

"Did you see that?" He said to a camera I didn't notice was there.

"What is going on?" I asked, really confused.

"You got the job Miss Brown. Congratulations" Oh hell no.

"I don't want it. I am not like others who is going to satis-"

"That was all a test. I am proud to tell you that bone if that was real. It was all a test." I blinked.

"What?" Was all I could say.

"I use these tactics on only women who come for job interviews and see what their reaction would be and well up until this point, you are the only lady who didn't fall for this." He gestured to himself making me roll my eyes.

"So you expect me to believe that?!"

"Yes.. because its the truth and besides I'm too busy having a lovable girlfriend to want to flirt with other women." He said proudly. Okay.. I was not expecting this.

"So you did all that just to get my reaction and see if I would fall into your trap?" I asked and he nodded his head.

"Yes Miss Brown and I must quite say, your reaction was quite unique." He said with a chuckle, making the redness on my cheeks spread.

"I am so sorry sir about the vulgar words. I didn't mean to be so raw. I was just disappointed by what was go-"

"Its fine it's fine and please called me Shawn. I'm Shawn Ryers. Welcome to Ross Enterprises. Its going to be a pleasure working with you." He brought out his hand for me to shake and I shook it, unsure.

"But Mr. Ryers, you didn't actually ask me any job related questions. " I pointed out but he just waved it off.

"From what I've seen from your resume, I must say I'm quite surprised, another company hasn't snatched you up already." I smiled at the compliment.

"But what if I faked my resume?"

"Did you? Wait.. do you not want this job?" My eyes widened at this.

"No.. no I do want it. I'm just surprised that all I needed to get the job was to refuse s*x from you. It's just weird. " I confessed and Mr. Ryers nodded his head in understanding.

"I understand. To be honest, you shouldn't even be up here considering the name you filled the form with and your resume name are different."

"Its just an al-"

"An alphabet but our security policy does not agree. We have had spies who appear as honest workers like you come here to destroy our company and sometimes we didn't know until the very end so we take our policy very serious here. I should've fired Mike ever since I knew this but I'm making an exception because I can see the sincerity in your eyes which is why I am allowing you to work here and you turning me down just adds to your bonus so once again,  I hope it will be a pleasure working with you Miss Brown." He brings his hand out for me to shake and this time, I shake it firmly.

"I also hope it will be a pleasure working with you Mr. Ryers and thank you so much for giving me this job." I said honestly and he grinned at me and I also did same.

I had a job. A well paying job. This was a dream come true.
